While taking part in the mkhukhu challenge, a local woman gave online viewers a tour of her home, which had a modern feel to it despite being a shack. The structure's interior left many people in awe and showering the homeowner with compliments.

A tour of the shack

Tshedi Chobane recently took to her TikTok account and said to app users:

"Welcome to my mkhukhu."

Starting in front, the woman (who didn't provide the location of her home) showed her growing garden sprouting green vegetables and plants before showcasing her veranda.

Tshedi then headed inside to reveal her open-planned kitchen and lounge, followed by her tidy bedroom complete with white walls and bedding, giving the room a clean and spacious feel.

One room Tshedi didn't show was her son's room, as he was taking a nap at the time.

Take a look at the woman's two-bedroom home in the TikTok video below:
